...basics*
name...[/b][/size] Alannah Strider
nickname...[/b][/size] Nahnie. It's a long story. She'll introduce herself as Lanna, but as soon as they hear about 'Nahnie', it tends to stick.
age...[/b][/size] 19
gender...[/b][/size] Female
grade...[/b][/size] Baum Academy Senior
occupation...[/b][/size] Waitress at some restaurant she hardly remembers the name of half the time. She shouldn't even need a job in the first place, but shit happens.
hometown...[/b][/size] Chicago, Illinois.
sexuality...[/b][/size] Heterosexual, but she'll try pretty much anything that doesn't tie her down. Commitment-wise, at least.
personification...[/b][/size] Princess Ozma
status...[/b][/size] Technically awake, but will have a second, more drastic awakening in the future.
face claim...[/b][/size] Anna Christine Speckhart (search warning: nudity)[/blockquote]
...appearance*
physical...[/b][/size] She's skinny, very obviously so. It's surprising she doesn't blow away in the wind. Nahnie eats like any regular teenager, meaning quite a lot, but it doesn't show. Probably because of her barely B cup status, which she hates. If you tell her to eat a cheeseburger, she'll probably reply with a "if you have an extra one, fatass" and storm off, though her 'storming off' is actually as effective as a three year old's temper tantrum.
She always puts on makeup and does her hair, contrary to her flippant attitude. Her hair is naturally really fucking curly, so she straightens it every day so she doesn't have to deal with that thick black mess. Makeup is just a side effect of how early she has to get up to deal with her hair.
clothing style...[/b][/size] Nahnie's style is a bit all over the map. She tries to make it look like she doesn't care what she wears, but some of her clothes are actually really 'cute' according to some. Though she mainly shops at thrift shops and Wal-Mart, she tends to buy the most fashionable things from wherever she does get to shop without realizing. She looks her best, but she doesn't try to. Her fashion is effortless, even if her style isn't necessarily 'fashionable' in the Hollywood sense.
Basically she looks she tries to look like she doesn't try when in reality she does but doesn't.
defining traits...[/b][/size] anything else about your character’s appearance that makes them stand out? do they have a special birthmark, tattoo, accent, aura? anything you didn’t cover about your character in the other two sections that you think you should mention, put it here.[/blockquote]
...personal info*
personality...[/b][/size]
sophistication, sincerity, hope
1.) It is never acceptable to place your elbows on the table while eating, speak with your mouth full, or lick your fingers.2.) Always address your elders in a formal manner, as a show of respect, unless instructed otherwise.
3.) Remember the proper usage and symbolic meaning of flowers.4.) Never ask of one's personal wealth or personal life unless the subject is brought upon by that person.5.) Always wait your turn in a line.
6.) Always say 'please' or 'thank you' when appropriate.
7.) Always cover your mouth when sneezing, coughing, or yawning.
8.) Spitting in public will not be tolerated.
9.) You cannot begin to eat unless everyone has been served, and the host/hostess must take the first bite.
10.) Taste your food before seasoning is added.
11.) Never reach across the table for food; ask for it to be passed along to you.
12.) Don't make noise while eating.13.) Ask permission before you leave the table.
14.) Don't use your cellphone while dining with other people.
15.) If someone sneezes, say "bless you" or any polite variant you may subscribe to.
For all that she seems, Nahnie can be very sophisticated, using most of the table manners and other etiquette she learned as a child. As rude as she can be with other areas, and some that are scratched out on this list, she'll show a degree of politeness at the dining table and in some instances.
However, her other personality traits cause conflict, and there lies the rules that are broken. She's very curious and obstinately so, leading to her asking very personal questions in an attempt to solve the matter, even if she's not wanted. He lack of respect for authority leads to her referring to most teachers and adults by vulgar names, for which she very often gets in trouble for. She's impatient and brash, so lines are no place for her unless she's at the front. Her impatience also leads to her leaving without notice, regardless as to who she's with.
However, despite those exceptions, she's very sincere in her use of manners, though she does it without question and often in a way that suprises those around her. She won't correct other people for their lack of manners, but she'll try to set an example.
She's also very sincere about practically everything else (if sarcastic, she'll make it clear she is being so), and is not one to sugar-coat things. She doesn't lie because she sees no purpose in it - however it may hurt, the truth will somehow lead to a better situation, as is the nature of truth itself.
Nahnie is also a very hopeful person, despite outer shells of pessimism and cynicism. In another contrast to outer shells, she really does care about people and will likely do something that benefits people she cares about without being asked.
love, energy, passion, desire
1.) must be able to put up with her crazy ideas and lack of commitment
2.) must be willing to try new things she suggests, however dangerous and reckless it may seem
3.) must be attractive in her eyes, a given.
4.) must have some degree of respect for women and her in general
a perfect date would consist of : a motorcycle ride to an amusement park, where they would ride all the roller coasters in the back or front car. they would eat all the crappy food and laugh at all the kids who aren't tall enough to ride. after the park closes, they would take a shitty blanket to some park and watch a fireworks display, and probably make out during this.
loves: fire, explosives, manners, motorcycles, leather, thrill, an iminent sense of danger.
bucket list
1. ride every back car on all of the roller coaster in an amusement park in one night.
2. go sky diving.3. go base jumping.4. ride on a motorcycle.
5. dog sledding.6. rock climbing.
7. ski.
8. snowboard.9. cliff diving.
10. ATV through dangerous terrain
11. paragliding.
12. shark diving with or without a cage.
13. white water rafting14. ziplining
Most of the things stated here would be totally relevant if Nahnie was looking for a committed relationship. She's not one for one-night stands, but her flings usually last no longer than a month and she states outright that both parties are entitled to break it off at any time or be with someone else, though this usually ends up being Nahnie herself breaking it off because she gets bored easily. She doubts that she'll ever find a man who meets the qualities she would look for, so she simply doesn't look for one. She's fine with the way she does things now.
As for pure excitement, though, she gets her kicks by setting things on fire and/or blowing shit up. Those are probably the top on her favorite things to do list, with many other thrilling activities she dreams of doing. Her bucket list is similar to that of many a broke adrenaline junkie, because that's basically what she is. She lives for thrill and would like to have more of it in her life. That's what she's most passionate about.
Nahnie will take action, whether it's necessary to help herself or others, or not needed but still a lot of fun.
social communication, friendship, moving on
At first glance, Nahnie may seem pessimistic and shallow, not wanting to bother with people and everything that comes with them. But this is just how she scares away those who wouldn't really be able to hang around with her, as she acts like that basically all the time. It's only when you get close to her does she show her caring side. But it's still pretty deep down there, and hidden beneath a lot of snarky comments and claims to not give a shit.
In many ways, she's actually very optimistic and does believe good things do happen, just not to her. She likes to help other people with whatever their problems are, even if her manner is a little rough around the edges. Nahnie's very enthusiastic about a lot of things, and you can probably tell in the tone of her voice and her body language, but she'd never admit it out loud. Why? Who knows.
She also has a talent for making herself and others feel better, if they can look past her language and word choice. If someone's down, she'll go out and do something special for them, acting like it's nothing. Because she doesn't like your annoying-ass whining is usally the reason she gives, though she's kind of joking. She really doesn't like seeing people upset, and she doesn't like being upset herself, so she'll do things that make her happy, too. Nahnie knows how to rely on her, herself, and her to console her.
This also relates to her ability to move on and not hold a grudge. She hates being upset, so she'll let a lot of things go, even if she puts up an intial fuss. She only holds a grudge if it's a continual issue.
intellect, happiness, expression
LAIV -- 89.6% A
MATH ANALYSIS -- 68% D
PSYCHOLOGY -- 81% B
BIOLOGY -- 69.7% C
GYM -- 96% A
FRENCH IV -- 79.8% B
MASS MEDIA (YEARBOOK) -- 98% A
her favorite things: storms, fire, roller coasters, adrenaline rushes, flowers, pumpkin pie, Halloween, costumes, rainbows, Fight Club.
Nahnie's grades are not exactly representative of what she knows or how smart she is, merely how much she likes the class, which is related to how much she tries in it. Though she's not a genius by any sense of the imagination, she is smart enough to get at least B's in all of her classes. She really enjoys gym and yearbook, so she puts all of her effort into those classes. Language arts is pretty easy, so she doesn't sweat it. French is enjoyable but requires a little more effort. Math and science are difficult and Nahnie doesn't enjoy them at all, but she's not stupid enough to fail them. She'd have to retake them, and that would just suck even more, since she's already a year older than the rest of her grade.
Her grades reflect what makes her happy, at least, what can be represented in school. Because that's the only thing she ever puts effort in, things that she enjoys. Things that make her happy tend to make her very happy, and if she's happy, she's less of a bitch to everyone around her.
envy, possessiveness
things you do not fucking touch :
- her clothes
- her backpack
- her wallet
- food she paid for
- her friends
- her body (without permission)
- basically anything she owns fuckass
wishlist;
1.) a better living space
2.) more money
Nahnie is a firm believer in the fact that the grass is greener on the other side. She doesn't like her current situation, and is very jealous of other people who have it a lot better. Basically, she really honestly believes that money is the most important thing in life, because it buys her the ability to do things that make her happy. Besides, she's pretty sure the healthcare system capitalist states of America would disagree with the fact that money isn't important to your health.
With this mentality, she does appreciate what she does have, because it is better than nothing, even if she wants more. So she's very, very possessive over the things she owns, and will get pissy if you touch anything she doesn't give you permission to, even if it's her own body. Personal space is a big issue with her, though she believes she alone has the right to initiate invasion of her space.
loyalty, unfaithfulness
These two things seem very contradictory, but when applied to the contexts they belong in, it makes more sense. Nahnie is loyal to herself and everyone who she is friends with, no questions asked. She'll stand up for her friends and is unlikely to betray them if faced with the option to. However, this is true of all of her friendships, and often, her friends may fight. She'll choose a side depending on what pisses her off the least, and this is how she loses friendships.
The unfaithfulness is simply in her love life. Though she makes it very clear that she's not interested in a long-term closed relationship, it often gets mistaken as part of her front, so she tends to hurt her lovers by having other lovers. This is frustrating because she did explain it, even if they didn't believe it, and that's pretty much the only time she regrets this front she puts up.
intuition, perception
current addictions
- cigarettes
- adrenaline
- flowers and florals
- sex
Nahnie's very quick to grasp concepts, though with her stubbornness, it's a disaster if she grasps the wrong one. She doesn't like it when people repeat things and makes good use of the 'I heard you the first time' saying. She feels threatened if she realizes she misunderstood something, and it's hard for her to delete or replace that information once it's there. Which also leads to her having a very addictive personality, though her addiction will only last until she gets bored. Until then, she wears the concept out like it's the only pair of shows she owns.
Nahnie is usually very intuitive about other people's feelings and situations, and is somewhat good at reading body language and word usage. She doesn't care to use this talent, as she'd much rather ask a person outright and prove basic theories than just ask a person about what they're feeling, that would be creepy. She only likes to creep people out sometimes.
imagination, individuality, authority
Nahnie excels in areas where she has to be creative, and always tries to think of new things to do for the yearbook or her hobbies. Nahnie's not so artsy, but she's good at thinking of ideas that everyone involved can appreciate. The authorities often dislike her ideas, but she couldn't care less.
She actually does not believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and thinks that people who do believe that are lazy, unoriginal fuckasses who need to get their asses outside the box. She tries her best to be unlike other people, and will not stand for people imitating her. Nahnie's trying to be an individual, not a trendsetter. Fuck you. Do your own thing.
In contrast, Nahnie really honestly has some notion that she's the head bitch in charge in most cases, leading to problems with authority. Though she's not a 'queen bee' sort, she's more of a revolutionary leader. But instead of standing in front of her people with a pre-battle speech, she likes to make subtle suggestions muddled by her seeming lack of interest. Sometimes, she doesn't even realize she's doing it, which leads to frustration over why these people are actually taking her suggestions and copying her.
When she gets angry, she tends to throw temper tantrums that could level an entire building, metaphorically. She gets violent and is actually a bit of a scrapper, which means it's not a good idea to make her angry.
fear, mystery
fears : having to live with her brother forever, the dark, dying.
For all the bravado Nahnie puts up, she does actually get very scared of things. Since her grades and financial situation are poor, she doubts she'll be able to go to college and get a decent job, thus leaving her with her loser brother forever. Though she loves him, she hates living with him, as he's been a really unfit guardian and is pretty much useless.
The dark is something she's had since forever, and she does have to have some sort of light on at any point of day. Often, she feins forgetting to leave the lamp on, or the bathroom light, or the closet light with the door ajar. It's the main reason why she got to loving fire in the first place, as it was the first substance used to light the darkness.
Though she loves the thrill of danger, Nahnie really gets scared sometimes, which afterwards contributes to the thrill. She's much to young to die, but knows it can happen and teenagers have as much mortality than anyone else, especially those who are reckless like she is. Still, she would be really upset if she died, if she wasn't too dead to feel anything.
Nahnie's personality is a lot of contradictions and colors left unmentioned, but that's the way she's crafted it, or so she thinks. Not even she is sure where this metric ton of layers and empty spaces and cold fronts came from, but she can't seem to change.

life until now...[/b][/size] Brenna O'Malley met Richard 'Rick' Strider in the oddest of places - the courtroom. He was a witness testifying against a Chicago gangbanger who he had managed to arrest before an initiation. She, an assistant to the DA at the time, asked him questions, and he answered, and somehow that constituted as flirting, though no one really realized it at the time. The gangbanger was put behind bars and Rick was promoted to detective for his efforts. After the trial was over, they began dating, and married on the one year anniversary of the last day of the trial.
Ironically, his family members were all lawyers and judges, while her family members were all cops, but both had a lot of money. So basically, if you were going to crash the wedding, you were going to be royally fucked over.
They had a son soon afterwards, who they named Xavier. They loved him but were very busy with work and left him with the nanny they hired, who wasn't very fun at all, but was relaxed and often gave Xavier whatever he wanted to shut him up. Though he was spoiled, he still wanted his parents to notice him, so as he progressed into the teen years, he acted out and got into trouble with the law. Brenna and Rick, however, couldn't bear to face the child that disregarded what they cherished the most, so they continued on with work and instructed the nanny and the counselors to help him. He took it as they didn't care about him, so he got into even more trouble.
This was very stressful to Rick, who was on his way to becoming Chicago Cheif of Police, and Brenna, on her way to becoming the District Attourney. One night, they took off from work to have a date night, which ended in something they hadn't exactly done in a while.
It was a big surprise when Brenna found out she was pregnant again, and this time, they were going to make sure the child would be better behaved than Xavier. Though, after Brenna left maternity leave, the same situation occured. Xavier also influenced his new baby sister, though she knew how to act good in front of her parents.
But when she was five, she failed kindergarten, and her parents were heartbroken and angry. They put her in etiqutte classes and got her a private tutor to make her into the perfect little law-abiding citizen they wanted her to be, and that was unlikely to occur of things such as that were to continue.
She did warp into a perfect little lady, lifting her nose above her scum brother (even if he was considerably older and taller than her), and dressing in the clothing her mother bought her without question. She only dressed as Disney princesses, and didn't ruin her costume with makeshift fake blood (ketchup) as she had in years past. Her brother didn't care, as he was too busy with his friends, though he did give her the nickname she's been stuck with to this day.
But when she was eight, and her brother 19, their parents past came back to haunt them. The gang over which one of the member's trial led to the Striders meeting, still wanted revenge for putting the member behind bars. Mainly his son, who had grown up and been initiated into the same gang.
They were about to hold another trial, and Brenna and Rick showed up at the same time in different cars. They were on the stairs of the courthouse. It was a drive-by shooting, leaving Brenna and Rick and a few other innocent bystanders dead.
As per wills and testaments drawn up long before, as Rick's job was dangerous and Brenna had been gaining publicity, Alannah Strider would be in the custody of her brother if he was over 18. The rest had never been filled in, leaving the families to fight over the substantial amount of money the couple had made. Since no one else was mentioned, they could argue that they were forgotten.
Xavier actually did try to get the money, since he was the next of kin, but Grandma and Grandpa Strider brought up numerous accounts of drug use and misconduct. Eventually, the senior Striders received all the money, save for a fund set aside for Nahnie to attend a private high school and college, and a second home they had in New York City. They moved there soon after the estate was settled.
the present...[/b][/size] Nahnie hated it right away. She remembered her manners and her ladylike behavior, but that soon fell to the wayside as living with her brother influenced her. And by that, she meant he was boring as hell and did nothing all day basically. She grew up wanting some sort of adventure, and she found that in fire and violence and adrenaline rushes.
When the time came for Nahnie to go to high school, she was sent to Baum Academy, as it was the closest and the cheapest. She's still obsessed with thrill, but also with manners and some things that may be considered too feminine for what makes up the rest of Nahnie's personality and interests, but fuck you. That's the attitude she's taken on from her brother, and has kept it throughout the four years of high school. She's now one of the oldest students at Baum, and is excited to finally get out of that hell hole so she can have more fun. She doesn't think the college fund will help her get into college itself, so she's pretty much given up on that dream.
